1 edit | DSL modem unreachable Hi,
I have a router and a DSL modem. The DSL modem is set to bridge mode, and the router handles the PPPoE connection details.
When the modem is synced and connected I am able to reach it via »10.0.0.138. However, when the modem is not synced/when no PPPoE connection is made, the modem is unreachable at that address. This is troublesome when I have to troubleshoot.
This might be an obtuse question, but is there any way I can make the modem reachable when it's not synced other than connecting to it directly or taking it out of bridge mode?
Or is this going to be impossible in bridge mode.
P.S. The modem is SpeedTouch 516 |

kudos:2 | That modem has two internal IP addresses at which you can reach it. The other one should be something like 192.168.1.254. Try that one. |

In the address bar, type your SpeedTouch™’s IP address or DNS host name (»speedtouch.lan or 192.168.1.254 by default) Neither worked when connected and when offline. |

| Did you change the IP address in your router where it says: "Route Modem IP"? Make sure it's set to 192.168.1.254, or whatever the correct IP is.
The 192.168.x.x address is configurable from inside the ST516 modem's GUI. Try logging in to the modem and making sure that's the correct IP that the modem is using. Then make sure the "Route Modem IP" box in your Tomato GUI is set to the same address that you found in the ST516's GUI, and give it another go. It's possible you have to reboot your modem and/or router to get it to work properly, I can't remember. Mine works with a very similar setup to yours. |

Toronto, ON | Thanks for the reply.
I can't figure out the first step in your reply - how to configure the IP address inside the ST516 modem's GUI.
I do not see that option anywhere. |
